The Intimate Revolution: Sex Throughout Life's Journey

Imagine a cultural revolution where women in their 70s claim to be having the best sex of their lives. This isn't fantasy-it's the reality Iris Krasnow discovered through 150 intimate interviews with women aged 20 to 90. The conventional wisdom that sexuality fades with age is being dramatically rewritten as baby boomers refuse to fade quietly into sexless senior citizenship while younger generations navigate hookup culture. What emerges from these conversations is revolutionary: sexual satisfaction often increases with age as women shed inhibitions and embrace authentic desire. The brain-not youth or physical perfection-proves to be our most powerful sexual organ, capable of generating profound pleasure throughout life's many transitions.
